The End of NASA's Human Space Exploration?
Obama: We Choose Not to Go to the Moon
January 27, 2010 - Press reports suggest that the Obama administration intends to scrap the space exploration program started six years ago by President George W. Bush. NASA will be tasked with devising alternatives based on options from the Augustine Report.
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that there will be no money in the NASA FY2011 budget for the space exploration program intended to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020.
"When the White House releases his budget proposal Monday, there will be no money for the Constellation program that was supposed to return humans to the moon by 2020. The troubled and expensive Ares I rocket that was to replace the space shuttle to ferry humans to space will be gone, along with money for its bigger brother, the Ares V cargo rocket that was to launch the fuel and supplies needed to take humans back to the moon.
"There will be no lunar landers, no moon bases, no Constellation program at all."
Instead, NASA will be asked to conduct a multi-month study of an alternative exploration program, based upon options offered in the Augustine Committee Report, likely focusing on deep space missions to asteroids, the moons of Mars, and various other destinations in space without actually landing on a surface of another world.
According to the New York Times:
"The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is preparing for a major evaluation of its human spaceflight program, even as many who will conduct the survey have yet to be informed of the agency's revised mission.
"The expansive, multi-month technical study, still in the preliminary stages, might be similar to the Exploration Systems Architecture Study that in 2005 settled on the design of the agency's program to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020."
As of this writing, there is no word about how much money if any would be allocated to this alternate exploration program in the FY 2011 NASA budget. How much the program will cost, where astronaut explorers will go, and when they will go are also unknown.
